At dark a rocket shot up into the
sky and startled the acres Of teams and
vehicles north of the camp and along
the road. This announced the begin
ming of the pyrotechnlc display aud the
vast crowd, estimated by some at l5,-
600. pressed toward tie parade ground
where the works had been constructed.
For half an hour or more the display
went on and was the finest ever seen
in this part Of the state. The red,
white and blue balloons which floated
oft from exploding rockets and the
fiery whirligigs which ascended, look.
ing like some enormous fiery walruses
swimming up the sky, were new pieces
and raised demoniac yells f'om the
crowd.
Thus ended the biggest 'time" and
one of the best planned and executed
affairs ever held in this part of the
state. Worthington covered herself
with glorv and this is the universal
verdict. The attendance the last day
has been yAriOuslv estimated at from
{. 900 to 10000, and the middle number
of 5000 would probably be safe esti.

and the programme was Of a delightful
character. The lecture included the dis,
cussion Of the Egyptian period Of Rameses

in Egyptology during the last few years.
The subject is Of the most intesting charac.

Miss Meholin's programme of recitations
WAS fine Her pupils did their parts
charming, and her own recitation was very
pleasing. The music was Of high char.

of Misses Conner and FOrsythe, and the

was a gratifying success. Besides the
lecture next Thursday, Wordsworth will
be studied under the direction Of Hon. G..

An Opinion on the Charges of Discrimima-
tinn Against Commercial Travellers.

An Opinion Oh the Charges of DisCTmina.
tinn Against Commercial Travellers.
DETROIT, MICH., May 5.--Counsel for
the Merchants and Manufacturers EN-
change has made his report on the Inter
State law. The opinion will govern the
Exchange in its attitude toward the Mich
igan Central Railroad, which is charged
with unreasonable discrimination against
commercial travellers.
The attorney reports that he saw nothing
extraordinary about the measure; that the
main parts are quite clear and the first
three sections contain nothing new, all
being found in the established common law
decisions. Heretofore these decisions have
been scattered and unwie!dy. The bill
boils them down, puts them in concise
shape, and attaches penalties which will
insure obedience.
lie holds that the law merely prohibits
unjust and unreasonable discrimination,
and calls attention To the similarity of cx-
pressionS in the decisions of courts and the
acts The words like circumstances, y
undue. unreasonable, " etc, SAYS the
counsel, leaves n certain margin to prevent
the bill from being the irOn-clad affair it
is sometimes said To he OF course it is a
nice question what Is unreasonable, y
"unduc,' - etc, and what is not. How far
section ; legalizes the discrimination in
favor of commercial travellers depends up
on whether regular commercial traveller,
buying 900 mile ticket, and any other
man buying 1000 mile ticket, buys it
under substantially similar circumstances

basiug his opposition upon the veto of the

of both houses OF Congress that voted il
favor of the measure.

fensc of the President in Il vigorous speech
lie declared that the veto in question had
brought Cleveland nearer tO the hearts O
the people in Kentucky than he had ever
been before, and reused prolonged enthu
SiaSm by appealing for harmony on the
policy of the administration in the pure
and certain hope that the distinguished
President Speaker CARLISLE would occupy
the second place on the ticket with Cleyc,
land in the next national campaign.
Eventually Taulbee's motion was de,
teated by an overwhelming majority, and
the convention proceeded to make nomina'
